| Connection is lost or RPM shows jumps |
- Use spark plug wires and anti-interference cap.
- Use high-quality USB cable
- Check that the spark plug is not failing. Replace it even if the engine is not failing.
- Keep USB cables away from interference sources such as pump or fan cables, relay and contactor cables, or solenoid valve cables

In eddy dynamometers RPM drops when load is applied |
- Reverse the polarity of the eddy brake supply so that the magnetic field polarity is inverted.
- Mount the magnet on a non-magnetic material such as aluminum or plastic.
- The magnet assembly should be further away from the axis, as the axis presents a large amount of parasitic magnetism that interferes with the RPM sensor's magnet

| There is a connection but RPM is not showing |
- Check that the software is correctly registered in Help – Register
- Check the sensor distance
- Check the magnet polarity (pole marked with "N" towards the sensor)
- Check the configuration. Go to Options, Configuration, Calibration. Connect the sensor to the RPM1 input and check signal No.10, or connect to RPM2 and check signal No.12. There should be some change in the values when pulses enter through the sensor.

| Power is low/high |
- Check the climate data. Temperature, humidity and pressure must be correctly entered.
- Be careful with decimals, on some PCs they are written with a comma and on others with a decimal point, according to regional settings.
- The FC should be a number close to 1, typically between 0.95 and 1.05. Values far from 1 are incorrect. Remember that the FC directly affects the indicated power value
- Check the Moment of Inertia (Options, Inertia). The inertia value should be the one indicated by the manufacturer. If the value is high, you will measure a high power, and if the value is lower than correct, you will measure less.
- Does it happen with all engines? Check with other engines to see if the problem is the engine
